The See All PV48-360RT Panaramic full dome Plexiglas security mirror is an acrylic dome mirror with a 48" diameter and a high-visibility rim, that hangs from a ceiling and reflects a 360 degree angle image for an overhead view of blind intersections, and helps a person see around obstacles for safety, or monitor a wide area for efficient surveillance. Acrylic is shatter resistant, weighs less than glass, and reflects a clear, bright image. The mirror has a red and white diagonally striped, 3/4" vinyl edge for high visibility, and comes with the hardware needed to hang it from a single cord, wire, or chain suspended from a ceiling. The 48" diameter size is suitable for areas up to 800 sq. ft. (diameter is measured from the outside of the 3/4" rim). Safety mirrors are used to help increase visibility in a variety of locations; for example, in hallway intersections and sharp turns, and in driveways and loading docks where drivers have to back up or enter traffic. Safety mirrors are sometimes called security mirrors, and they can be used to extend the view of security personnel, or to help monitor factory workers and automated processes to improve quality control and productivity. For convex mirrors, objects will appear to be further away than they are, and will be easier to see in a larger mirror. Depending on visibility conditions and the viewer's eyesight, objects will usually be recognizable within about 1 ft. of distance (including distance from eye to mirror, and from mirror to object) for each inch in mirror diameter. See All Industries manufactures safety and security mirrors. The company, founded in 1958, is headquartered in Chicago, IL.
